Château Pavie vintage 2006 Imperial
Saint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)
96/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Lying duty free ex-cellar Château Pavie
1 Imperial (6 litres) in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “Cropped low as the viticultural work is
impeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian in
style, and bottling is accomplished with no fining or
filtration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of the
larger of the premier grand cru classes in St.-Emilion. A
prodigious effort, the 2006 does not have the sucrosite of the
2005, 2003, or 2000, but it would not be embarrassed if
tasted side by side with either of those two titans. A dense
purple colour as well as an extraordinary perfume of
crushed black currants, liquorice, wet stones, and subtle
background oak are found in this tannic, dense,
masculine-styled 2006. Backward and extraordinarily
pure, it is built like a Manhattan skyscraper with
exceptional focus, depth, texture, and length. It´s all here,
but 5-10 years of patience will be warranted. Anticipated
maturity: 2015-2035.”
